Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

It's been almost 10 years since the death of Mother Teresa and 3 years since her beatification. Tonight we will have a simple meal, in the spirit of Blessed Teresa, and discuss her inspiring life and works.

Until then, ponder these words from Blessed Teresa:

Make us worthy, Lord, to serve those people throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger.
Give them through our hands, this day, their daily bread, and by our understanding love, give them peace and joy.

When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.
